The Seahawks have franchised kicker Josh Brown guaranteeing him $2 million bucks for next season. The Seahawks want to sign Brown to a long term contract as he is a very reliable kicker. Brown made 25 of 31 (80.6%) of his FGs and all 36 extra points for 111 points. He also gets good depth on his kickoffs.
The Seahawks TEs didn’t help the offense much last season. As a unit they only caught 36 passes for 332 yards and 5 TDs. Jerramy Stevens played in 11 games (6 starts) and he caught 22 passes for 231 yards (10.5 avg) with 4 TD grabs. For his career, Stevens has played in 71 games (26 starts) and he has caught 130 passes for 1,458 yards (11.2 avg) with 15 TD receptions.
Itula Mili played in 10 games (2 starts) and he caught 10 passes for 69 yards (6.9 avg). For his career, Mili has played in 114 games (42 starts) and he has caught 164 passes for 1,743 yards (10.6 avg) with 13 TD grabs.
Will Heller played in 16 games (0 starts) and he caught 4 passes for 32 yards (8.0 avg) and a TD. For his career, Heller has played in 42 games (3 starts) and he has caught 19 passes for 146 yards (7.7 avg) with 4 TD grabs.
The Seahawks only had 6 picks in last April’s draft but three of them made an impact and a 4th one could be a starter down the road for them. Here’s a breakdown:
In the first round CB Kelly Jennings had a decent rookie season. He played in all 16 games and made 40 tackles, had an interception, defensed 5 passes and forced a fumble. He will be a starter for a long time for the Seahawks.
In the 2nd round the Seahawks nabbed DE Darryl Tapp. Tapp played in all 16 games and he registered 33 tackles, 3 sacks, forced a fumble and intercepted a pass that he returned 25 yards for a TD. He also will be a starter for the Seahawks.
In round #4 Rob Sims (OG) played in 14 games (3 starts) and he played well as a reserve and could be a future starter for the Seahawks.
In the 7th round the Seahawks drafted something they really needed….a punter. Ryan Plackemeier played in all 16 games and punted the ball 84 times for 3,778 yards (45.0 avg). He pinned 25 of his punts inside the opposing 20 yard line and had a 37.3 net punting avg.
5th round pick David Kirtman (FB) and 7th round pick Ben Obomanu (WR) didn’t play a down for the Seahawks.
